Severe Sepsis after Renal Transplantation: The Importance of HLA-B Matching
Sepsis remains one of the most common causes of death among renal transplant recipients. Particular risk factors, however, are poorly described in this patient population,…2013 American Transplant Congress
Mature Dendritic Cells Are Superior Stimulator Cells for Expansion of Human Alloreactive Regulatory T Cells
IntroductionAntigen (Ag)-specific regulatory T cells (Tregs) have a great therapeutic clinical potential. However, large numbers are needed before Tregs can be used as cellular immunotherapy…2013 American Transplant Congress
Alloantigen-Specific Tregs Can Be Identified by Activation-Induced CD154 Expression
IntroductionAntigen (Ag)-specific T cells can be recognized using cell surface expression of markers specifically induced upon T cell receptor interaction with peptides presented in the…2013 American Transplant Congress
CD137, a Marker To Detect the Total Alloreactive T Cell Compartment?
IntroductionAlloreactive T cells are important mediators of rejection or tolerance of the transplanted organ. Detection and isolation of viable alloreactive T cells at the single…2013 American Transplant Congress
Galectin-7 in Cardiac Allografts in Mice: Related to the Acute Rejection and Playng Important Roles in Accelerating Rejection Response
To survey whether galectin-7 is associated with acute rejection and the function of galectin-7 in acute allograft rejection.In this study, the allografts and isografts were…2013 American Transplant Congress
Mesenchymal Stem Cell Induced In-Vitro Generation of Regulatory T-Cells – Future Novel Cellular Therapy for Tolerance Induction in Transplantation?
Introduction:Regulatory T-cells (Tregs) have recently been recognized as key players in transplantation immunobiology with little knowledge about their source and dose for tolerance induction.We present…2013 American Transplant Congress
Antibodies Are Not Necessarily Detrimental to the Graft Survival – Single Centre Experience in Living Donor Renal Transplantation
Introduction: Antibodies are believed to be detrimental to graft survival. We present a cohort of living donor renal transplant (LDRTx) patients who were subjected to…2013 American Transplant Congress
Over-Expression of miR-499 within Donor Heart Attenuates Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy
Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a major limiting factor in the long-term success of heart transplantation. Ischemia-reperfusion injury plays a critical role in initiation of…2013 American Transplant Congress
TLR2 Signaling in Epithelial Cells Initiates Sterile Tissue Inflammation through Recruitment of NK Cells in Renal Ischemia Reperfusion Injury
It is well recognized that damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) released from damaged kidney cells initiate post-ischemic inflammation, an essential step in the progression of kidney…2013 American Transplant Congress
New-Onset Diabetes and Glucose Regulation Are Significant Determinants of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
Purpose: . Arterial stiffness has a pivotal role in the genesis of high blood pressure (SBP), increased left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), and consequently CV mortality.…
